From the acclaimed author ofThe Suitcase Baby and The Suicide
Bride, the story of a series of horrific murders that began in
1930s Sydney - and a killer who remained at large for over two
decades. In December 1932, as the Depression tightened its grip,
the body of a woman was found in Queens Park, Sydney. It was a
popular park. There were houses in plain view. Yet this woman had
been violently murdered without anyone noticing. Other equally
brutal and shocking murders of women in public places were to
follow. Australia's first serial killer was at large. Police failed
to notice the similarities between the victims until the death of
one young woman - an aspiring Olympic swimmer - made the whole city
take notice. On scant evidence, the unassuming Eric Craig was
arrested. But the killings didn't stop... This compelling story of
a city crippled by fear and a failing economy, of a killer at large
as panic abounds, is also the story of what happens when victims
aren't perfect and neither are suspects, and when a rush to
judgement replaces the call of reason.
